Fabian Cancellara: Trouble in Paradise

Morten Okbo and Paolo Ciaberta 

“The conversation is honest. Therefore it is an embarrassment. I’m embarrassed by some of the shit I say, and Fabian might feel the same about himself. It’s even a little dumb or unimaginative at times. But we do our best as a couple of strangers, and we get to laugh, and we get to be serious, and because I am curious about him, he gets curious about me. He talks about his successes and about his failures, both as an athlete and as a man. He goes from public to private, and it’s… well, it’s just remarkable to witness.”
